FLEXIBLE NUMBERING
The extensions numbers, line access digits, and first digit of the feature codes can be changed. This allows
systems with Direct Inward Dialing (DID) numbers to have their extension number reflect the DID number.
When you change the numbering, the extension numbers must be changed to 3 or 4 digit numbers. If you
want to return to the 2 digit scheme you must reset the switch to the default factory settings. See page
103.
• From the Programming extension, press the PROGRAM key.
• Select “System Programming”.
• Enter the System Programming Password and select “Extensions”.
• Press the Scroll Down key () until “Flexible Numbering” is displayed.
• Enter the number length from three or four digits.
• Enter the first extension number (that extension 20 is to be changed to).
• Press “Confirm”.
Press the speakerphone key to finish programming.
The system will automatically allocate the remaining numbers.
If the range selected conflicts with the current programming, the system will automatically set a range that
does not have a conflict. The option to manually adjust the numbering can then be selected, the conflicting
numbers reprogrammed and the range can then be reset to the required numbers.
Once the numbers have been automatically reallocated, it is also possible to manually adjust the numbers
for the following: extension numbers, Misc. extensions, line access, Operator code, Feature code, Speed
Dial.
Once the above procedure is completed
• Select “Manual Adjustment”.
• Select either “Extension Numbers” or “Other Codes”.
• If “Extension Numbers” is selected, select the required extension and change the number.
• If “Other Codes” is selected, select one of the options: Misc. extensions, line access, Operator code,
feature code, Speed Dial.
• The current number is displayed for 2 seconds.
• Enter the new number required.
• Press confirm.
• If there is a conflict “Invalid” is displayed and another number must be entered.
• Repeat this procedure for all required options.
Press the speakerphone key to finish programming.
Note: The “Misc. Extensions” option covers “Group Numbers” and “Phantom Mailbox Numbers”.
